Yes Yes
The Colourists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love is of course love
Anybody who tells you differently
They'll lie to confuse you
They'll do anything to take you from me
Yes yes, they've been jealous
Of the time spent between you and me
They've been talking, even plotting
Of a way they could steal you from me
Of a way they could steal you from me
Of a way they could steal you from me

You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thing

This time may be the last time that I see you
Just believe in me, don't be leaving me
I'll do anything to keep you with me
Don't be fooled by the words of deceit
Keep it in from falling out, don't let them talk me down
As a way they could steal you from me
As a way they could steal you from me

You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thing

Take my hand
You're slipping, it's so dark out where you're trying to walk
But you've been talking
Like life is rushing past while we're just sitting tight
But nothing's going to change until you look inside (Nooo)
Nothing's going to change until you look inside

You've been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won't fix a thing
You've been down, down for days and days




But searching for another won't fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won't fix a thin
